Even numbers certainly aren't random, and composite numbers aren't random either. Hmm, that leaves eleven, thirteen, seventeen, and nineteen. Eleven is too close to ten, and nineteen is too close to 20. Thirteen? Well, duh! Thirteen is UNLUCKY, man. That leaves.... hmmm....darn... could you please restate the question? -
If the question is, 'Why?', then the answer is that all current versions of the Escape Velocity and EV Override engines only support one news network.

Yeah, all news in the game is UEN, there is no Voinian, Emphalga, Miranu, etc. News Networks.

The Rest of the races haven't figured out how to work the News Network yet. When they do, you'll find a large outburst of news that will immediately kill your computer. Have a Nice Day.

have you ever seen and talked to the UE Carrier "Jason Whong"?
he says some thing to the effect of "isnt it stange all the species in the galaxy speak english" thus your answer is invalid. (the word is spelled Voinian)
I'm such a fanatic!!

Yeah but that's just a joke about just about all of sci-fi. Besides, maybe they all only speak English to you, and in fact have their own languages. And I know how to spell Voinian. That was the name of their language.

Assume the UEN uses some form of advanced radio/television hybrid wave to broadcast faster than the speed of light. If this is the case, then it is much the same way original broadcast (VHF and UHF, like cable or satelite) TV and radio are transmitted today, but on a much higher scale. For those of you who have seen the movie 'Contact', the alien race makes contact with Earth by transmitting TV pictures of Adolf at the 1936 Munich Games. This is the same principle the UEN is based on except:
1. The data transmitted travels very fast.
2. No one sends the transmissions back OR
2.1 The transmissions are returning but the respective governments (Human, Voinian, Miranu etc.) are covering them up.
2.2 Our/These civilization/s is/are transmitting to them/us or returning their/our signals but they/we do not have the advanced technology to recognise that this is happening (this sentence makes more sense if you ignore the slashes and read very fast ).I know I'm in technical waters far above my head, but I would love to see some responses to this.

What EVO needs is what America has in short supply: underground news sources. I cannot believe you are in here contemplating why EVO has only one news outlet when right now in America there is incredible homogeneity in how news is presented. Sure, there are many newspapers in America, but what percentage of those are owned by Knight-Ridder? Sure, there are many local AM radio networks, but nearly all them them rely on the same few primary sources: AP news wire, UPI and Reuters. Who owns them? For that matter, how can FOX and CNN truly be competitors when they have the same panel of "experts" with dubious credentials all saying the same lines and we swallow it without question?
Support alternative media. Read foreign newspapers online (there are hundreds of English edition foreign newspapers). Use MacTuner to listen to foreign news radio broadcasts. Check out (url="http://"http://www.alternet.org")www.alternet.org(/url) or ZMag.org for news you may not hear anywhere else. Check out (url="http://"http://www.publiceye.org/research/biblio/Repression.htm")http://www.publiceye.../Repression.htm(/url) for a reading list of books detailing a history you may know nothing about if you rely too heavily on what you are taught in school and by the media here.
I like EVO just as much as you, but please get your priorities straight.

Good views about the alternative media, but a bit off. I mean, here we are (well here I am) going on about the future of telecommunications, and all of sudden you come right in out of left field with this. Wrong for two reasons
:- Completely random, and
- Here in New Zealand, our news is all from 'underground' ie not major network sources, like straight from the people.
But I believe in what you're saying.

dutchie, I meant no offense and clearly you are right when speaking of New Zealand news sources. I have found many excellent foreign news sources on the web, it is only the American media that I direct my criticisms at. I am glad to hear that you are not one of those people that gets all your information from FOX network, Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report, as is so often the case among American conservatives.
By the way, do you have a favorite news source you would like to recommend? I am always open to suggestions and greatly appreciate them.
